Keiser Director of Athletics Kris Swogger announced on Wednesday the hiring of interim head coach Samantha Harris as the school's next head coach of Keiser flag football.
 
"Samantha Harris has done a tremendous job with our flag football program this past year," Swogger said. "She took over the program as interim head coach in a critical time and kept our team among the elite in the nation. I look forward to seeing our program's continued success on and off the field under her guidance."
 
"I'm very excited and thankful for the opportunity," Harris said. "Our team has some unfinished business, and I'm looking forward to sticking around and helping this team achieve its goal. My assistant coach and I have already been recruiting and planning for the upcoming season. Our girls are motivated and ready to get back to work."
 
Harris, who served as the team's interim head coach this past year, guided the Seahawks to a school-record 18 wins while winning both the Sun Conference regular season and tournament titles. Harris was named this year's Sun Conference Coach of the Year, coaching eight Seahawks to a school-record nine all-conference honors. Keiser outscored its opponents, 713-138, advancing to the NAIA National Championship Game. The Seahawk's posted nine shutouts and set a school record in interceptions with 47.
 
Prior to being named interim head coach, Harris spent the 2023 season as Keiser's assistant coach.
 
Harris, co-owner of NOMAD Mobile Fitness in Royal Palms, Florida, was the freshman, junior varsity coach, and assistant varsity coach at Seminole Ridge High School from 2008 to 2018. While at Seminole Ridge, Harris helped guide the Hawks to the state crown in 2010 and 2012.
 
She has also served as President of Girls Flag Football in local recreation leagues where she was responsible for managing the board of volunteers, creating league budgets, and teaching flag football to new coaches. Her work in flag football spans from Adult Leagues to PeeWee and Freshman Leagues.
 
Harris continues to work with her company NOMAD Mobile Fitness where she helps children and adults in understanding the importance of proper nutrition and exercise in maintaining overall health and athletic performance.
